Synopsis

"Raymond Chandler meets Arrested Development. Zany, witty, and full of dark surprises, Lisa Lutz's novel is pure fun—and Izzy Spellman, PI, tops the list of 'Fictional Characters I'd Like to Meet for a Bourbon'"(Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl).

Isabel Spellman, PI, is used to being followed, extorted, and questioned—all occupational hazards of working at her family’s firm, Spellman Investigations. Her little sister, Rae, once tailed Izzy for weeks on end to discover the identity of Izzy’s boyfriend. Her mother, Olivia, once blackmailed Izzy with photographic evidence of Prom Night 1994. After years of power struggles, Izzy staged a hostile takeover of the company. She should have known better than to think she could put such shenanigans behind her.

When Izzy is accused of embezzling from a former client, her troubles are just begin­ning. If Izzy gets indicted, she could lose her PI license and the Spellman family’s liveli­hood—not to mention her own freedom. Is this the end of Izzy Spellman, PI?

Spellman Six: The Next Generation is, hands down, the most powerful book in the best­selling, award-nominated Spellman series.

Goodreads review by Becky on July 24, 2013

Oh, Izzy. I just want to give her a big hug, despite the fact that I know she'd feel awkward and stiff and try to pull away. In The Last Word we find Isabel Spellman at her most vulnerable, confused, and messy. I always remember and recommend the Spellman books as being funny, which obviously they ar......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on August 15, 2013

Lisa Lutz is becoming like Sue Grafton to me, as each new book feels like settling into a comfortable and familiar place, and in Lutz’s case, a really amusing one. Unfortunately, Lisa no longer lives in San Francisco, but thankfully the Spellmans still do. I wasn’t expecting that, on the 2nd to last p......more

Goodreads review by Nan on July 30, 2013

I've been a solid fan of the Spellman series and was glad that there was a book to wrap up the saga.¹ I was, however, disappointed. Let's just say that I wasn't as entertained as I'd hoped. Isabel, now 35 and now CEO of Spellman Investigations, seems to be loosing it. Everything is going downhill rap......more

Goodreads review by Jill on July 28, 2013

I love the Spellmans. I do. I love their dysfunction and their quirkiness and their snarky wit. I love the way they interact with people, especially each other. All of these things are predictable Spellman fare, and I like that I know exactly what I'm going to get when I pick up one of their install......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on August 07, 2016

This book is the perfect example as to why I am not a series reader. Books 1 through 4 were light and fun and wonderful and crazy and zany with madcap characters in which you were completely invested. Books 5 and 6 completely dissolved all of the goodwill built for those characters and provided no s......more
